Washington State guard Cedric Coward has decided to remain in the 2025 NBA draft instead of transferring to Duke, as reported by ESPN. The 21-year-old averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in six games last season before his year was cut short due to a partially torn shoulder labrum, shooting 40% from 3-point range. Having started his collegiate career at Division III Willamette before transferring to Eastern Washington, Coward is projected to be the No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, according to ESPN’s latest mock draft.
